Kevin Smith Says He’s Quitting Directing to Be Indie Film Distributor

At a Sundance post-screening talk, Smith “announced plans to leverage his own cult-fanbase to break out of the studio distribution system and put [his latest] film out there for audiences on his own.” He also said that his next film would be his last; he will “focus on his fledgling distribution company, helping other indie filmmakers get their films to an audience without going through Hollywood.”
